Jigoshop is a free, open-source WordPress eCommerce platform which has been available for around two years now, allowing you to set up an online store quickly and easily on any self-hosted WordPress installation.

They’re been a client since originally launching, and are now used by tens of thousands of businesses around the world. And we also use Jigoshop as a platform for other great clients such as BargainBikerBrands.

It’s great for small-to-medium online eCommerce businesses, and for quickly and easily being able to set up a shop to test demand for products. You only pay if you want to extend the functionality with additional payment services (PayPal standard, FuturePay and WorldPay are built in), or add on other tools to make your shop more effective.

They’re currently holding a Jigoshop Black Friday Sale, with 50% off a massive range of products, including themes, 70+ extensions, and more. Which means you could save a lot if you’re setting up a store.

So if you’ve got an idea or a plan to sell any products or services online, it’s a good time to pick up everything you’ll need for an effective eCommerce website. You’ve got until 9am GMT on Saturday, November 30th to complete your purchase with the discount code ‘blackfriday2013‘

And if you need any help, or you want to improve the marketing of your Jigoshop website, we can help!

A quick heads-up for anyone who is interested in WordPress eCommerce – Jigoshop, a client of mine, is holding a massive 1st birthday celebration sale for 24 hours, until 12 noon GMT on Thursday, June 14th, 2012.

I don’t often pimp client activity on here, but considering the core plugin is free, and all official Jigoshop extensions and themes are 30% off for the next day, I thought it was justifiable.

So if you’re interested in setting up a WordPress eCommerce store quickly and easily, and fancy saving on a number of great themes and plugins (a total of 42 are in the sale), then check out what’s on offer now.

I’ve spent the last 24 hours concentrating on some work for friends and clients, Jigoshop regarding their use of the GPL Licence V3 and the repercussions of ‘forking’ a project under that licence, so if you’re at all interested in open source, you might want to head over and read the latest post to see what’s going on.
